Injector dead to the touch, bad injector?

Alright folks.

My question is simple....

I can physically touch my finger to my injectors and feel them clicking/pulsating, but my #6 injector is dead to the touch, as in i don't feel anything...
No clicking, no pulsing, nothin, i've yet to hear it with a stethoscope/screwdriver...

Could i have a bad injector?

Maybe.
Ohm check it.
It could also be a break in the wire going to that injector.

Uhh trace it? lol but in all seriousness ohm test the injector first. If it tests bad then swap another injector that you know is good in its place and see if it fires like it should. If it doesn't and you can safely say the injector is good then you can narrow down other possible causes from there.

swap the conn from a different inj on to #6 if it still doesn't work then the injector is bad,
if it does work then you have a problem with your wiring.
